NASA has warned that a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic explosion could occur in the coming months.

This summer in the USA rare flash of light based dead star will be visible from Earth, where scientists they called “ah” once in a lifetime event” POT announced that between June and Septemberevent known as not going to will manifest itself in Northern Crownor Northern CrownA constellation belonging Milky Way.

stars what will cause this phenomenon are white Dwarf and one red giantknown collectively as T Crown North wave “Star of Titan”A binary system located approximately 3000 light years from the earth. This phenomenon occurs when white Dwarf accumulates material from red giant

until reaching pressure and temperature so high that they cause thermonuclear explosion. This material will be thrown into space in blinding flash.

Rebecca HounsellResearcher Goddard Space Flight Center belonging POT event specialist not going toassured that this is ” once in a lifetime event it will create many new ones astronomersoffering young people cosmic event that they can observe for themselves, ask their own questions and collect their own data.” Hounsell emphasized the importance of this event inspire the next generation scientists.

Cycle accumulation and explosion of material between both stars this repeats approximately every 80 years old. Last time this happened not going to it was in 1946as published POT on his web page. Hounsell explained that “there are some repeating novae with very short cycles, but we usually do not see repeated bursts in a human lifetime, and rarely so relatively close to our system“

attentive to behavior T Crown Northsince its behavior in the last decade was similar to the pattern observed before the 1946 eruption. not going to could have happened earlier September 2024. scientists and sky lovers must seek Northern Crown on clear nights, recognizable by its shape horseshoe west belonging Constellation Hercules.

Dr. Elizabeth HayesChapter Laboratory of Elementary Particle Physics Astroparticles in that Goddardnoted enthusiasm among amateurs astronomy And citizen scientists. “They are always looking for strong and bright signs that identify events not going to and other phenomena,” Hayes said. “We’re counting on it global interaction community again with T KrB“

POT and other observatories will use variety of telescopes and tools for learning not going to. Among the most notable are Fermi Gamma-ray Space TelescopeHe James Webb Space TelescopeHe Nile Gehrels Swift ObservatoryHe Polarimetric X-ray scanner (IXPE)He Nuclear Spectroscopy Telescope (NuSTAR)He Neutron Star Internal Composition Research (NICER)

And “Extreme Universe Observer” INTEGRALbelonging European Space Agency. Except, ground telescopes How Very large array V New Mexico They will also participate.

This event offers Unique opportunity to better understand structure and dynamics from repeating stellar explosions. Observational ability Gamma ray images and a new tool in X-ray astronomycapacity IXPE polarizationthey will provide unprecedented prospects about him Life cycle of these binary systems And stellar processes who feed them.
